Posted by Jarvis Nelson Osorio | August 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Federal Crime

Great at taking your money and worthless

I hired Mr Shohat after my other attorney failed me. Mr Shohat is not a fighter. He withheld information from me gave me wrong advise. Mr Shohat did what was best for himself not me the client. I asked Mr. Shohat to get my property back from the Feds. He said he was working on it. 3 years later nothi...ng. I asked him to see evidence he said he had, it didn't exist. I asked him to withdraw my plea and that's when it got nasty. He threatened me into continuing with pleading guilty or would testify against me. I demanded he withdraw my plea. He refused. Mr. Shohat is a prime example of ineffective assistance of counsel. This is a example of an innocent person going to federal prison for 30 months because the attorney got his over $100,000 payment and didn't feel like working. I hope I recover from this tragedy. I'm only sharing this because I do not wish for someone else to go through my family, I went through. Mr Shohat is a horrible person and a MONSTER.

Mr. Edward Shohat has the experience, knowledge but above all human compassion!

Never dreamed I could ever have such a positive experience in such a negative experience that I was living when my family hired Mr. edward Shohat for my defense in a federal court case. I was been accused in 7 counts including a conspiracy; with Mr. Shohat's counseling I wound up having to plea guilt...y of only 1 charge. Thank You Mr. edward Shohat for helping me move on with my life!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
